    Overcast this morning. Not particularly cold.

    Quiet on the tube. People are sitting with decent gaps wherever possible.

    Last day at ClientCo and my main task is to fix a corrupt installation of Visual Studio.

    With yesterday's news about airports, HWMBO looked into going home early but instead decided to stay with me until Sunday as planned and get the train home. Flights are looking sketchy and the price is creeping up and up. He will self isolate for a week before allowing his kids to join him, just in case.
    How can you tell it is corrupt? Does it actually work?

        Getting "old" isn't the way to die, it's tulip.


        No, getting old is not a bundle of laughs, but I suppose it's slightly better than the other option.

          Turns out there was no corruption.

          Just using the free community edition which, despite being free, requires you to log in to activate a license.

          Chap I was handing over to kept getting a licensing error when he logged in. All the usual troubleshooting steps didn't fix it so I was expecting to have to unpick the damn thing from windoze, as I know from bitter experience that it doesn't cleanly uninstall.

          However, me being me, I thought - let's just try logging in with my creds. Worked perfectly. Logged out and back in with the other person's creds and all is good.

          Five minutes work rather than several hours.

              I was going to give up my meds over the summer - but I am not well enough. Just run out of supply I got 2 years ago. So I had to get appointment for new prescription. You can no longer queue outside the surgery - you have to call. And then a doctor calls you back.

              NHS close to breaking.

                  That's normal for me.

                  I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

                    or taking sensible precautions.

                    keeping possibly infected people apart and telephone consultations are more efficient for those with repeating issues.

                      Drizzle.

                      Now normally I like running in drizzle as I tend to overheat when running but drizzle is nice, but still a bit too cold for running.

                      I think I might just get Mad Men and Mr Robot Box sets completed during these crazy times.
